“The Amazon smile box now comes with even more sunshine. Today we announced that we’ve begun hosting solar installations on the rooftops of our fulfillment and sortation centers with a goal of installing at least 50 solar systems by 2020. By the end of this year, rooftop installations on Amazon fulfillment facilities across North America will generate up to 41 megawatts (MW) of power. To give you an idea of what that looks like, check out the above video to see the impressive installation at the Patterson Amazon fulfillment center. Solar panels cover more than three-quarters of the 1.1 million square foot building’s rooftop. And that’s just a small sampling of our overall renewable energy portfolio. Amazon’s recent renewable energy projects include the company’s largest wind farm to date, located in Texas. In addition, a network of wind and solar farms in Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia are delivering energy onto the electric grid that powers AWS data centers. To date, Amazon has announced or commenced construction on projects which will generate a total of 3.6 million MW of renewable energy. Amazon was the leading corporate purchaser of renewable energy in in the US in 2016, according to the 2017 GreenBiz State of Green Business report.”
